2. Presented Techniques

One or more computing devices and/or techniques are provided for generating a list of suggested queries associated with one or more keywords are provided. For example, a user may access and/or interact with a search interface that generates search results based upon queries. The search interface may be an internal website search interface designed to search for information within a single website. Alternatively and/or additionally, the search interface may be a web search engine designed to search for information throughout the Internet. Alternatively and/or additionally, the search interface may be a shopping search engine designed to search for product information and/or service information within the single website and/or throughout websites of the Internet.

The user may input a first query into the search interface and/or a first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the first query. One or more suggested queries may be determined based upon the first query. The one or more suggested queries may be presented via the search interface. However, the one or more suggested queries may not be associated with informative queries. An informative query may correspond to a query yielding search results that may provide the user with background information associated with a subject of the first query. For example, the subject of the first query may correspond to “smartphone” (e.g., the first query may comprise “smartphone”) and/or the background information associated with the subject may correspond to a range of smartphones, average prices of smartphones, a number of vendors of one or more smartphones, popularities of different smartphones, smartphone companies, etc. Rather than determining one or more informative queries associated with the first query, the one or more suggested queries may be determined by predicting, based upon historical queries, one or more final stage queries associated with the first query in order to minimize a search session length associated with the user (e.g., the one or more suggested queries may comprise one or more specific smartphone models and/or products which may not yield search results that provide the user with background information associated with the subject of the first query). As a result of the one or more suggested queries not being associated with informative queries, the user may not interact with the one or more suggested queries and/or the one or more suggested queries may not help the user achieve an understanding of the subject of the first query.

Thus, in accordance with one or more of the techniques presented herein, a plurality of queries associated with the first query may be determined based upon the first query and/or a historical query database. In some examples, a plurality of search sessions of the historical queries and/or a plurality of sequences of queries associated with the plurality of search sessions may be analyzed to generate a plurality of relationship scores associated with the plurality of queries. A list of suggested queries associated with the first query may be generated based upon the plurality of queries and/or the plurality of relationship scores. In some examples, the list of suggested queries may comprise one or more informative queries as a result of the list of suggested queries being generated based upon the plurality of relationship scores which are generated based upon the plurality of search sessions and/or the plurality of sequences of queries. One or more suggested queries of the list of suggested queries may be presented via the search interface. Alternatively and/or additionally, search results may be generated based upon the first query and/or the list of suggested queries. The search results may be presented via the search interface.

An embodiment of generating a list of suggested queries associated with one or more keywords is illustrated by an example method 400 of FIG. 4. A user, such as user Jill, (and/or a first client device associated with the user), may access and/or interact with a search interface configured for generating search results based upon queries. At 402, a graphical user interface of the first client device may be controlled to display the search interface. In some examples, the search interface may be associated with a first web page accessed via a browser of the first client device. Alternatively and/or additionally, the search interface may be associated with a first application (e.g., a mobile application) accessed via the first client device.

In some examples, the search interface may be a web search engine designed to search for information throughout the Internet. For example, the search interface may be configured to generate search results associated with database entries, websites and/or web pages. Alternatively and/or additionally, the search interface may be an internal website search interface designed to search for information comprised within a defined set of one or more websites, a defined set of one or more web pages and/or a defined set of one or more databases.

In some examples, the search interface may be configured for generating search results associated with one or more types of content. For example, the one or more types of content may correspond to search results associated with product information and/or service information (e.g., the search results may be associated with pages associated with prices, vendors, etc. associated with the sale of products and/or services). Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more types of content may correspond to search results associated with news information (e.g., the search results may be associated with pages associated with news articles). Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more types of content may correspond to search results associated with medical information (e.g., the search results may be associated with pages associated with medical information articles). Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more types of content may correspond to search results associated with legal information (e.g., the search results may be associated with pages associated with legal information). Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more types of content may correspond to search results associated with job information (e.g., the search results may be associated with pages associated with job postings).

Alternatively and/or additionally, the search interface may be configured for generating search results associated with general content. For example, the search interface may be configured for generating search results associated with one or more of product information, service information, news information, medical information, blog posts, web pages, etc. In some examples, the one or more types of content associated with generating search results using the search interface may be selected and/or modified via a settings interface of the search interface.

At 404, one or more first keywords may be received via the search interface from the first client device. For example, the one or more first keywords may be entered (e.g., input) into a search field of the search interface. For example, the one or more first keywords may comprise a set of characters (e.g., “smartphone”, “cars”, “J brand cars”, “j2 cars”, “night dress”, etc.). Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more first keywords may be received via the search interface and/or entered into the search field using a touchscreen (of the first client device), one or more switches (e.g., one or more buttons, such as buttons of a keyboard), a conversational interface (e.g., a voice recognition and natural language interface), etc.

In some examples, the search interface may comprise a search selectable input corresponding to performing a search based upon the one or more first keywords. For example, the one or more first keywords may correspond to a first query. A selection of the search selectable input may cause the search to be performed. In some examples, a first plurality of search results associated with the one or more first keywords may be generated and/or presented via the search interface.

At 406, a first plurality of queries associated with the one or more first keywords may be determined based upon the one or more first keywords and/or a historical query database. In some examples, the historical query database may comprise a plurality of historical queries comprising the first plurality of queries. In some examples, the historical query database may comprise timestamps associated with queries of the plurality of historical queries (e.g., the timestamps may correspond to times that queries of the plurality of historical queries are received and/or times that searches are performed using the queries) and/or indications of client devices associated with queries of the plurality of historical queries (e.g., the indications of client devices may correspond to client device identifiers associated with client devices from which queries of the plurality of historical queries are received).

In some examples, queries of the plurality of historical queries may be selected for inclusion in the first plurality of queries based upon a determination that the queries are associated with the one or more first keywords. Alternatively and/or additionally, merely historical queries of the historical query database received within a duration of time prior to a current time may be analyzed to determine the first plurality of queries (e.g., merely historical queries received within a year, a month and/or a week prior to the current time may be analyzed to determine the plurality of queries).

In some examples, an exemplary query of the plurality of historical queries may be selected for inclusion in the first plurality of queries associated with the one or more first keywords based upon a determination that one or more characters and/or one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords. For example, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords if a portion of the exemplary query is the same as at least a portion of the one or more first keywords. In an example where the one or more first keywords comprises “car” and/or the exemplary query comprises “offroad cars”, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords based upon both the one or more first keywords and/or the exemplary query comprising “car”.

Alternatively and/or additionally, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords if at least a portion of the exemplary query is associated with a topic and/or a search category associated with at least a portion of the one or more first keywords. In an example where the one or more first keywords comprises “car” and/or the exemplary query comprises a car brand, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords based upon the one or more first keywords and/or the exemplary query being associated with a topic and/or a search category (e.g., “cars”).

Alternatively and/or additionally, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords if at least a portion of the exemplary query is associated with a definition and/or a meaning related to at least a portion of the one or more first keywords. In an example where the one or more first keywords comprises “phones” and/or the exemplary query comprises “smartphone”, it may be determined that the one or more characters and/or the one or more keywords of the exemplary query match and/or are related to the one or more first keywords based upon the one or more first keywords and/or the exemplary query being associated with similar definitions and/or meanings.

In some examples, the exemplary query may be associated with an exemplary search session. For example, the exemplary search session may correspond to searches performed via an exemplary client device using the exemplary query and/or one or more second exemplary queries. In some examples, the historical query database may be indicative of the exemplary search session. Alternatively and/or additionally, timestamps and/or indications of client devices associated with historical queries of the historical query database may be analyzed to determine the exemplary search session. The exemplary search session may correspond to searches that are performed by the exemplary client device within a period of time. The searches associated with the exemplary search session may be performed using an exemplary search interface of the exemplary client device. Alternatively and/or additionally, the searches associated with the exemplary search session may be related to a single topic. For example, the exemplary search session may correspond to searches performed using the exemplary client device within a 30-minute time period (and/or a different time period), wherein the searches may be related to cars (and/or a different topic).

The one or more second exemplary queries may be selected for inclusion in the first plurality of queries associated with the one or more first keywords based upon a determination that the exemplary query and the one or more second exemplary queries are associated with the first search session (e.g., searches performed using the exemplary query and the one or more second exemplary queries may be performed in the first search session).

At 408, a plurality of relationship scores associated with the first plurality of queries may be generated based upon a plurality of search sessions associated with the plurality of historical queries. In some examples, a relationship score of the plurality of relationship scores may be associated with a relationship between a query of the first plurality of queries and the one or more first keywords. For example, a relationship score of the plurality of relationship scores may be associated with a level of relevance of a query of the first plurality of queries to the one or more first keywords. Alternatively and/or additionally, a relationship score of the plurality of relationship scores may be associated with a probability that the user associated with the first client device is interested in a query of the first plurality of queries and/or a probability that the user will select the query of the first plurality of queries.

In some examples, the plurality of search sessions may comprise a first search session associated with a second client device. The first search session may correspond to one or more first searches performed via the second client device using one or more first queries of the plurality of historical queries. For example, a second query of the one or more first queries associated with the first search session may be received from the second client device during the first search session at a first time (e.g., a first search of the one or more first searches may be performed responsive to receiving the second query). Alternatively and/or additionally, a third query of the one or more first queries may be received from the second client device during the first search session at a second time, after the first time (e.g., a second search of the one or more first searches may be performed responsive to receiving the third query).

In some examples, a first sequence of queries associated with the first search session may be determined based upon the second query and/or the third query (and/or one or more other queries of the one or more first queries). In some examples, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of one or more timing characteristics associated with the one or more first searches. For example, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of the third query being received after the second query is received (and/or the first sequence of queries may be indicative of the second search being performed using the third query after the first search is performed using the second query).

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon a plurality of sequences of queries associated with the plurality of search sessions. The plurality of sequences of queries may be determined based upon the historical query database (e.g., the historical query database may be analyzed to determine the plurality of sequences of queries). For example, the plurality of sequences of queries may comprise the first sequence of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, timestamps and/or indications of client devices associated with historical queries of the historical query database may be analyzed to determine the plurality of sequences of queries. In some examples, the historical query database may comprise and/or may be indicative of the plurality of sequences of queries. In some examples, the plurality of sequences of queries may be indicative of queries received during the plurality of search sessions and/or search categories associated with the queries. For example, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of the second query, a first search category associated with the second query, the third query and/or a second search category associated with the third query. In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated merely based upon search sessions and/or sequences of queries that occur within the duration of time prior to the current time.

In an example, the second query may be associated with a name of a home appliance brand (e.g., “JTX”) and/or the first search category may be associated with home appliances (e.g., “home appliances”). Alternatively and/or additionally, the third query may be associated with a phone model associated with the home appliance brand (e.g., “JTX 2 phone”) and/or the second search category may be associated with phones, which may be a sub-category of home appliances (e.g., “home appliances-phones”). In some examples, the first sequence of queries may comprise “JTX *Home appliances, JTX 2 phone *Home appliances-phones”). Alternatively and/or additionally, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of a last and/or most specific subcategory and/or category of a query. For example, the first sequence of queries may comprise “JTX *Home appliances, JTX 2 phone *phones”).

In some examples, an exemplary relationship score associated with an exemplary query of the first plurality of queries may be generated based upon a quantity of instances that a search associated with the exemplary query was performed (e.g., a quantity of search sessions where a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query was received). Alternatively and/or additionally, the exemplary relationship score associated with the exemplary query of the first plurality of queries may be generated based upon a quantity of sequences of queries comprising a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query.

Alternatively and/or additionally, a fourth query of the one or more first queries may be received from the second client device during the first search session at a third time, after the second time (e.g., a third search of the one or more first searches may be performed responsive to receiving the fourth query). In some examples, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of the fourth query being received after the third query is received. Alternatively and/or additionally, the first sequence of queries may be indicative of one or more query sequence pairs. For example, a query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to two queries of the first sequence of queries.

For example, a query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to two consecutively received queries. A first query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to the second query and/or the third query. In some examples, the first query sequence pair may be indicative of the second query, the first search category associated with the second query, the third query and/or the second search category associated with the third query.

Alternatively and/or additionally, a second query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to the third query and the fourth query. In some examples, the second query and/or the fourth query may not correspond to a query sequence pair as a result of the second query being received between reception of the second query and the fourth query.

Alternatively and/or additionally, a query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to two received queries of a sequence of queries, regardless of whether a different query is received between reception of the two received queries. For example, a third query sequence pair of the one or more query sequence pairs may correspond to the second query and the fourth query.

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon a plurality of query sequence pairs associated with the plurality of sequences of queries. For example, the plurality of query sequence pairs may comprise the query sequence pair, the second query sequence pair and/or the third query sequence pair. In some examples, the exemplary relationship score associated with the exemplary query of the first plurality of queries may be generated based upon a quantity of query sequence pairs comprising a query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords and/or comprising a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query. For example, a query sequence pair that comprises a query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords and comprises a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query may be indicative of a search associated with the exemplary query being performed in a same search session that a search associated with the one or more first keywords is performed. Accordingly, it may be determined based upon the query sequence pair that the exemplary query is related to and/or relevant to the one or more first keywords.

Alternatively and/or additionally, positions of queries in a query sequence pair may be analyzed to generate the exemplary relationship score associated with the exemplary query. For example, a query sequence pair that comprises an initial query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords and comprises a next query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query may be indicative of a search associated with the exemplary query being performed after and/or directly after a search associated with the one or more first keywords is performed (where the initial query is in a first position (e.g., initial position) of the query sequence pair and the next query is in a second position (e.g., after the initial position) of the query sequence pair which may be indicative of the initial query being received prior to the next query being received). Accordingly, it may be determined based upon the query sequence pair that the exemplary query is a follow up query to the one or more first keywords. In some examples, the exemplary relationship score associated with the exemplary query may be generated based upon a quantity of query sequence pairs indicative of the exemplary query (and/or a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query) being a follow up query to the one or more first keywords (and/or a query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords).

In some examples, the exemplary relationship score of the exemplary query of the first plurality of queries may be indicative of a first probability that the user associated with the first client device (and/or a different user that performs a search associated with the one or more first keywords) is interested in the exemplary query and/or a second probability that the user will select the exemplary query if the exemplary query is presented (e.g., suggested to the user). In some examples, the first probability and/or the second probability may be determined based upon one or more first query parameters associated with the exemplary query. For example, the one or more first query parameters may comprise the quantity of instances that a search associated with the exemplary query was performed, the quantity of sequences of queries comprising a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query, the quantity of query sequence pairs comprising a query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords and/or comprising a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query and/or the quantity of query sequence pairs indicative of the exemplary query (and/or a query associated with and/or matching the exemplary query) being a follow up query to the one or more first keywords (and/or a query associated with and/or matching the one or more first keywords).

Alternatively and/or additionally, the first probability and/or the second probability (and/or the first relationship score) may be determined based upon a comparison of the one or more first query parameters with query parameters associated with other queries of the first plurality of queries. For example, one or more operations (e.g., mathematical operations) may be performed using the one or more first query parameters and/or the query parameters associated with the other queries of the first plurality of queries to determine the first probability and/or the second probability (and/or the first relationship score).

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be compared with a threshold relationship score. For example, responsive to a determination that the exemplary relationship score does not meet the threshold relationship score, the exemplary query may be removed from (and/or may not be included in) the first plurality of queries.

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated using a machine learning model. The machine learning model may have an encoder decoder architecture (e.g., a sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) architecture) and/or a different machine learning architecture. In some examples, the machine learning model may be trained using the plurality of sequences of queries associated with the plurality of search sessions. A first plurality of representations (e.g., one or more of vector representations, embeddings, word embeddings, etc.) may be generated based upon the plurality of sequences of queries (and/or a second plurality of sequences of queries of the historical query database associated with search sessions different than the plurality of search sessions). For example, a representation of the first plurality of representations may be generated based upon a sequence of queries of the plurality of sequences of queries. In some examples, the first plurality of representations may correspond to numerical representations of the plurality of sequences of queries (e.g., a representation of the first plurality of representations may be a numerical representation and/or a numerical embedding of a sequence of queries of the plurality of sequences of queries).

In an example, a first exemplary representation of the first plurality of representations may be generated based upon an exemplary sequence of queries of the plurality of sequences of queries. In some examples, the first exemplary representation may be indicative of exemplary queries associated with the exemplary sequence of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, the first exemplary representation may be indicative of one or more timing characteristics and/or a temporal sequence of queries associated with the exemplary sequence of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, the first exemplary representation may be indicative of one or more search categories associated with the exemplary queries associated with the exemplary sequence of queries.

In some examples, the first plurality of representations may be generated using one or more word2vec techniques. For example, a representation of the first plurality of representations (and/or each representation of the first plurality of representations) may be generated using the one or more word2vec techniques. Alternatively and/or additionally, a representation of the first plurality of representations (and/or each representation of the first plurality of representations) may correspond to a word2vec embedding (e.g., a numerical representation) associated with a sequence of queries of the plurality of sequences of queries. It may be appreciated that word2vec is an exemplary algorithm configured to receive as input a corpus of text and generate vectors and/or numerical representations. While word2vec may be mentioned herein, one or more other algorithms similarly configured to receive as input a corpus of text and generate vectors and/or numerical representations may be used instead (and/or in addition), and are contemplated.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may be trained using the plurality of query sequence pairs associated with the plurality of sequences of queries. A second plurality of representations (e.g., one or more of vector representations, embeddings, word embeddings, etc.) may be generated based upon the plurality of query sequence pairs (and/or a second plurality of query sequence pairs of the historical query database associated with search sessions different than the plurality of search sessions). For example, a representation of the second plurality of representations may be generated based upon a query sequence pair of the plurality of query sequence pairs. In some examples, the second plurality of representations may correspond to numerical representations of the plurality of query sequence pairs (e.g., a representation of the second plurality of representations may be a numerical representation and/or a numerical embedding of a query sequence pair of the plurality of query sequence pairs).

In an example, a second exemplary representation of the second plurality of representations may be generated based upon an exemplary query sequence pair of the plurality of query sequence pairs. In some examples, the second exemplary representation may be indicative of exemplary queries associated with the exemplary query sequence pair. Alternatively and/or additionally, the second exemplary representation may be indicative of one or more timing characteristics associated with the exemplary query sequence pair. Alternatively and/or additionally, the second exemplary representation may be indicative of one or more search categories associated with the exemplary queries associated with the exemplary query sequence pairs.

In some examples, the second plurality of representations may be generated using the one or more word2vec techniques. For example, a representation of the second plurality of representations (and/or each representation of the second plurality of representations) may be generated using the one or more word2vec techniques. Alternatively and/or additionally, a representation of the second plurality of representations (and/or each representation of the second plurality of representations) may correspond to a word2vec embedding (e.g., a numerical representation) associated with a query sequence pair of the plurality of query sequence pairs.

In some examples, the machine learning model may be trained using the first plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of sequences of queries) and/or the second plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of query sequence pairs). Alternatively and/or additionally, the first plurality of representations and/or the second plurality of representations may be input to the machine learning model to determine the first plurality of queries and/or generate the plurality of relationship scores using the first plurality of representations and/or the second plurality of representations.

In some examples, the machine learning model may use one or more recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to process the one or more first keywords and/or one or more queries received via the search interface from the first client device during a search session within which the one or more first keywords are received. Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may determine the first plurality of queries and/or generate the plurality of relationship scores based upon the historical query database, the first plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of sequences of queries) and/or the second plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of query sequence pairs).

In some examples, the machine learning model may convert an input sequence into an output sequence. Alternatively and/or additionally, the input sequence and/or the output sequence may have arbitrary lengths. For example, a character length and/or a sequence length of the input sequence may be different than a character length and/or a sequence length of the output sequence. In some examples, the input sequence may correspond to the one or more first keywords and/or the one or more queries received via the search interface from the first client device.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may be associated with one or more long short-term memory (LSTM) layers and/or one or more states associated with the one or more LSTM layers. In some examples, one or more representations (e.g., one or more of one or more vector representations, one or more numerical representations, one or more embeddings, one or more word embeddings, etc.) may be generated by a state (e.g., a last state) of the one or more states associated with the one or more LSTM layers, based upon the input sequence. Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may be associated with one or more encoder LSTM states associated with LSTM states of an encoder of the machine learning model and/or one or more decoder LSTM states associated with LSTM states of a decoder of the machine learning model. For example, the decoder may initialize the one or more decoder LSTM states based upon the one or more encoder LSTM states.

In some examples, the one or more representations may be compared with the first plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of sequences of queries) and/or the second plurality of representations (associated with the plurality of query sequence pairs) to determine relationships between the one or more representations and representations of the first plurality of representations and/or the second plurality of representations. Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more representations may be compared with the first plurality of representations and/or the second plurality of representations to generate the plurality of relationship scores.

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be normalized into a probability distribution associated with a plurality of probabilities associated with the first plurality of queries. For example, a probability of the plurality of probabilities associated with a query of the first plurality of queries may be indicative of a probability that the user associated with the first client device is interested in the query. Alternatively and/or additionally, a probability of the plurality of probabilities associated with a query of the first plurality of queries may be indicative of a probability that the user associated with the first client device will select the query if the query is presented (e.g., suggested to the user). For example, the plurality of probabilities may add up to 1 (and/or 100%). Alternatively and/or additionally, the plurality of probabilities may be compared with a threshold probability. For example, responsive to a determination that a probability of the plurality of probabilities does not meet the threshold probability, a query associated with the probability may be removed from (and/or may not be included in) the first plurality of queries. In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be normalized into the probability distribution associated with the plurality of probabilities using a softmax function (e.g., a normalized exponential function).

In some examples, the first plurality of queries may comprise a first plurality of sets of queries. A first set of queries of the first plurality of sets of queries may be determined based upon the one or more first keywords and/or the one or more queries received via the search interface from the first client device (e.g., the first set of queries may be determined using the machine learning model). For example, the first set of queries may be associated with and/or may yield search results providing information associated with the one or more first keywords (e.g., if the one or more first keywords comprises “cars”, the first set of queries may be associated with one or more car brands). In some examples, the first set of queries may be associated with a first set of probabilities (of the plurality of probabilities) that meet the probability threshold (e.g., queries that are associated with probabilities that do not meet the probability threshold may be removed from the first set of queries and/or may not be included in the first set of queries). Alternatively and/or additionally, the first set of queries may be associated with a first set of quantities (e.g., quantities of searches performed using queries of the first set of queries) that meet a quantity threshold (e.g., each query of the first set of queries may be associated with a quantity of searches performed within the duration of time prior to the current time using the query that meets the quantity threshold).

In some examples, one or more first sets of queries of the first plurality of sets of queries may be determined based upon the first set of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, for each query of the first set of queries, a set of queries may be determined. For example, a second set of queries of the one or more first sets of queries may be determined based upon the one or more first keywords, the one or more queries received via the search interface from the first client device and/or a fifth query of the first set of queries. For example, the second set of queries may be associated with and/or may yield search results providing information associated with the fifth query (e.g., if the fifth query comprises a first car brand, the second set of queries may be associated with one or more car models of the first car brand). In some examples, the second set of queries may be associated with a second set of probabilities (of the plurality of probabilities) that meet the probability threshold (e.g., queries that are associated with probabilities that do not meet the probability threshold may be removed from the second set of queries and/or may not be included in the second set of queries). Alternatively and/or additionally, the second set of queries may be associated with a second set of quantities (e.g., quantities of searches performed using queries of the second set of queries) that meet the quantity threshold (e.g., each query of the second set of queries may be associated with a quantity of searches performed within the duration of time prior to the current time using the query that meets the quantity threshold).

Alternatively and/or additionally, a third set of queries of the one or more first sets of queries may be determined (by the machine learning model) based upon the one or more first keywords, the one or more queries received via the search interface from the first client device and/or a sixth query of the first set of queries. For example, the third set of queries may be associated with and/or may yield search results providing information associated with the sixth query (e.g., if the sixth query comprises a second car brand, the third set of queries may be associated with one or more car models of the second car brand). In some examples, the third set of queries may be associated with a third set of probabilities (of the plurality of probabilities) that meet the probability threshold (e.g., queries that are associated with probabilities that do not meet the probability threshold may be removed from the third set of queries and/or may not be included in the third set of queries). Alternatively and/or additionally, the third set of queries may be associated with a third set of quantities (e.g., quantities of searches performed using queries of the second set of queries) that meet the quantity threshold (e.g., each query of the third set of queries may be associated with a quantity of searches performed within the duration of time prior to the current time using the query that meets the quantity threshold).

Alternatively and/or additionally, one or more second sets of queries may be determined based upon the second set of queries. For example, a fourth set of queries of the one or more second sets of queries may be determined based upon a sixth query of the second set of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, one or more third sets of queries may be determined based upon the third set of queries. For example, a fifth set of queries of the one or more third sets of queries may be determined based upon a seventh query of the third set of queries.

In some examples, a first query path may be determined based upon the first plurality of sets of queries. For example, the first query path may correspond to the fifth query of the first set of queries, the second set of queries associated with the fifth query and/or the one or more second sets of queries associated with the second set of queries. For example, the fifth query may correspond to a first step of the first query path, the second set of queries may correspond to a second step of the first query path, the one or more second sets of queries may correspond to a third step of the first query path, etc.

Alternatively and/or additionally, a second query path may be determined based upon the first plurality of sets of queries. For example, the second query path may correspond to the sixth query of the first set of queries, the third set of queries associated with the sixth query and/or the one or more third sets of queries associated with the third set of queries. For example, the sixth query may correspond to a first step of the second query path, the third set of queries may correspond to a second step of the second query path, the one or more third sets of queries may correspond to a third step of the second query path, etc. In some examples, the first query path and/or the second query path may be determined using the machine learning model. Alternatively and/or additionally, one or more other query paths may be determined based upon one or more other queries of the first set of queries.

At 410, the historical query database may be analyzed to determine a plurality of click rates (e.g., click-through rates (CTRs)) associated with the first plurality of queries. An exemplary click rate, of the plurality of click rates, associated with an exemplary query may correspond to a proportion (e.g., a percentage) of searches associated with the exemplary query leading to a selection of a search result (and/or a link associated with the search result) generated based upon the exemplary query. For example, the exemplary click rate may be determined based upon a total quantity of searches of a plurality of searches associated with the exemplary query and/or a quantity of searches of a second plurality of searches (of the plurality of searches) associated with a selection of a search result generated based upon the exemplary query. For example, one or more operations (e.g., mathematical operations) may be performed using the total quantity of searches and/or the quantity of searches to determine the exemplary click rate.

In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon the plurality of click rates. For example, a first plurality of weights may be generated based upon the plurality of click rates. For example, the first plurality of weights may be assigned to the first plurality of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon the first plurality of weights. In some examples, a query with a higher weight of the first plurality of weights may be assigned a higher relationship score as compared with a query with a lower weight of the first plurality of weights. In some examples, the plurality of click rates and/or the first plurality of weights may be input to the machine learning model for generating the plurality of relationship scores. Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may be trained using the plurality of click rates and/or the first plurality of weights.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the historical query database may be analyzed to determine a second plurality of click rates associated with the plurality of query sequence pairs associated with the plurality of sequences of queries. For example, a click rate associated with an exemplary query sequence pair of the plurality of query sequence pairs may be determined. In some examples, a second plurality of weights may be generated based upon the second plurality of click rates. For example, the second plurality of weights may be assigned to the plurality of query sequence pairs. In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon the second plurality of click rates and/or the second plurality of weights. In some examples, a query associated with a query sequence pair with a higher weight of the second plurality of weights may be assigned a higher relationship score as compared with a query associated with a query sequence pair with a lower weight of the second plurality of weights. In some examples, the second plurality of click rates and/or the second plurality of weights may be input to the machine learning model for generating the plurality of relationship scores. Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine learning model may be trained using the second plurality of click rates and/or the second plurality of weights.

In an example, the second query of the first query sequence pair (corresponding to the second query and the third query) may be associated with two selections, performed via the second client device, of search results generated based upon the second query and/or the third query of the first query sequence pair may be associated with one selection of a search result generated based upon the third query. Alternatively and/or additionally, the fourth query of the second sequence pair (corresponding to the third query and the fourth query) may be associated with four selections of search results generated based upon the fourth query. Accordingly, a first quantity of selections associated with the first query sequence pair may be three selections and/or a second quantity of selections associated with the second query sequence pair may be five selections. Thus, a first click rate and/or a first weight associated with the first query sequence pair may be less than a second click rate and/or a second weight associated with the second query sequence pair.

In some examples, a plurality of search frequencies associated with the first plurality of queries may be determined. In some examples, a search frequency of the plurality of search frequencies may correspond to a rate per duration of time at which a query of the first plurality of queries is used to perform a search (e.g., the duration of time may correspond to one or more of an hour, a day, a week, a month, etc. and/or a different duration of time). In some examples, a plurality of search frequency weights may be generated based upon the plurality of search frequencies. For example, the plurality of search frequency weights may be assigned to the first plurality of queries. In some examples, the plurality of relationship scores may be generated based upon the plurality of search frequencies and/or the plurality of search frequency weights. In some examples, a query with a higher search frequency weight (and/or a higher search frequency) may be assigned a higher relationship score as compared with a query with a lower search frequency weight (and/or a lower search frequency).

In some examples, queries associated with search frequencies lower than a threshold search frequency may not be included in the first plurality of queries and/or may be removed from the first plurality of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, the plurality of sequences of queries may be modified based upon the plurality of search frequencies. For example, queries associated with search frequencies lower than the threshold search frequency may not be included in and/or may be removed from the plurality of sequences of queries. Alternatively and/or additionally, query pairs of the plurality of query sequence pairs may be determined based upon a version of the plurality of sequences of queries without the queries associated with the search frequencies lower than the threshold search frequency. Thus, the plurality of query sequence pairs may not comprise (and/or may comprise) the queries associated with the search frequencies lower than the threshold search frequency.

At 412, a first list of suggested queries associated with the one or more first keywords may be generated based upon the first plurality of queries, the plurality of relationship scores, the plurality of click rates, the second plurality of click rates, the plurality of search frequencies, the plurality of sequences of queries and/or the plurality of query sequence pairs. In some examples, the first list of suggested queries may be generated and/or output by the machine learning model.

For example, the first plurality of queries may be ranked based upon the first plurality of queries, the plurality of relationship scores, the plurality of click rates, the second plurality of click rates, the plurality of search frequencies, the plurality of sequences of queries and/or the plurality of query sequence pairs to generate a plurality of rankings associated with the first plurality of queries. In some examples, the first list of suggested queries may be generated based upon the plurality of rankings. For example, the first list of suggested queries may be arranged (e.g., organized) based upon the plurality of rankings. For example, a first exemplary suggested query of the first list of suggested queries may be above a second exemplary query of the first list of suggested queries based upon a first exemplary ranking of the first exemplary query being higher than a second exemplary ranking of the second exemplary query.

It may be appreciated that by ranking the first plurality of queries based upon the first plurality of queries, the plurality of relationship scores, the plurality of click rates, the second plurality of click rates, the plurality of search frequencies, the plurality of sequences of queries and/or the plurality of query sequence pairs to generate the plurality of rankings, informative queries may be ranked higher than other queries of the first plurality of queries. In some examples, the informative queries may correspond to queries that may yield search results that may provide the user associated with the first client device with background information associated with a subject associated with the one or more first keywords.

In some examples, the one or more first keywords may be modified based upon the first list of suggested queries. For example, the one or more first keywords may be compared with the first list of suggested queries to determine whether the one or more first keywords comprise one or more of a misspelling, a misused word, etc. For example, responsive to a determination that the one or more first keywords comprises a misspelling and/or a misused word, the one or more first keywords may be modified to a modified version of the one or more first keywords automatically and/or the first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the modified version of the one or more first keywords (rather than the one or more first keywords). For example, the modified version of the one or more first keywords may be determined based upon a suggested query of the first list of suggested queries that is similar in meaning and/or spelling to the one or more first keywords. Alternatively and/or additionally, responsive to a determination that the one or more first keywords comprises a misspelling and/or a misused word, the modified version of the one or more first keywords may be presented via the search interface. For example, responsive to a selection of the modified version of the one or more first keywords, the first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the modified version of the one or more first keywords.

In some examples, one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented via the search interface. In some examples, responsive to receiving a selection of a suggested query of the one or more first suggested queries via the search interface, a search associated with the suggested query may be performed to generate and/or present a second plurality of search results associated with the suggested query.

For example, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented via the search interface based upon the plurality of rankings. For example, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be selected for presentation via the search interface based upon a determination that the one or more first suggested queries are associated with one or more first rankings that meet (and/or are above) a rank threshold. For example, the one or more first rankings may meet the rank threshold based upon the one or more first rankings being above the rank threshold. Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more first rankings may meet the rank threshold based upon the one or more first rankings being higher than other rankings of the plurality of rankings. For example, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be selected for presentation via the search interface responsive to a determination that the one or more first suggested queries are associated with the highest rankings of the plurality of rankings. For example, if the rank threshold is associated with five highest ranked queries, the one or more first suggested queries may comprise five suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries associated with rankings that are higher than other rankings of the plurality of rankings.

In some examples, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented adjacent to the search field (and/or at a different location) of the search interface. Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be may be presented while the one or more first keywords are input into the search field of the search interface and/or after the one or more first keywords are input into the search field. For example, a recommended search list (e.g., such as a query prediction list and/or an auto-complete list) comprising the one or more first suggested queries may be presented adjacent to the search field (and/or at a different location of the search interface).

Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented responsive to the first plurality of search results associated with the one or more first keywords being generated (based upon the one or more first keywords and/or the first query comprising the one or more first keywords) and/or presented via the search interface. For example, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented responsive to receiving the selection of the search selectable input corresponding to performing a search based upon the one or more first keywords. For example, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented adjacent to the search field and/or adjacent to the first plurality of search results associated with the one or more first keywords (and/or at a different location of the search interface).

Alternatively and/or additionally, after the first plurality of search results are generated and/or presented via the search interface, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries may be presented. For example, responsive to receiving the selection of the search selectable input, the search interface may present the search field and/or the first plurality of search results. In some examples, the one or more first suggested queries may be presented responsive to receiving a selection of the search field of the search interface. For example, responsive to receiving the selection of the search field of the search interface, the recommended search list comprising the one or more first suggested queries may be presented adjacent to the search field (and/or at a different location of the search interface). Alternatively and/or additionally, responsive to detecting one or more characters being input into the search field, the recommended search list comprising the one or more first suggested queries may be presented adjacent to the search field (and/or at a different location of the search interface).

Alternatively and/or additionally, the first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the one or more first keywords, the first list of suggested queries and/or the one or more first suggested queries. For example, the first plurality of search results may be arranged (e.g., organized) based upon the first list of suggested queries and/or the one or more first suggested queries. For example, a search result associated with a query of the one or more first suggested queries may be presented above (e.g., preceding and/or higher up in the first plurality of search results) a search result that is not associated with the one or more first suggested queries.

Alternatively and/or additionally, a first set of search results may be generated based upon the one or more first keywords and/or a second set of search results may be generated based upon the one or more first suggested queries (and/or one or more queries of the first list of suggested queries). For example, the first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the first set of search results and/or the second set of search results. For example, the first plurality of search results may comprise the first set of search results and/or the second set of search results. It may be appreciated that by generating and/or arranging the first plurality of search results based upon the one or more first suggested queries, the first plurality of search results may comprise more informative search results and/or the informative search results may be more easily accessible to the user (e.g., the informative search results may be presented higher up in the first plurality of search results such that the user may not be required to extensively browse and/or navigate through search results to find an informative search result). For example, the informative search results may correspond to search results that provide the user associated with the first client device with background information associated with a subject associated with the one or more first keywords).

Alternatively and/or additionally, the first plurality of search results may be generated based upon the one or more first keywords. The first plurality of search results may be ranked based upon the first list of suggested queries, the plurality of rankings associated with the first list of suggested queries and/or the one or more first suggested queries to generate a second plurality of rankings associated with the first plurality of search results. In some examples, a ranking of the second plurality of rankings may be generated based upon a level of relevance of a search result of the first plurality of search results with the first list of suggested queries and/or the one or more first suggested queries. In some examples, a ranked list of search results may be generated based upon the first plurality of search results and/or the second plurality of rankings. For example, the first plurality of search results may be arranged (based upon the second plurality of rankings) to generate the ranked list of search results. For example, a search result of the first plurality of search results with a higher ranking of the second plurality of rankings may be presented above (e.g., preceding and/or higher up in the ranked list of search results) a search result that with a lower ranking of the second plurality of rankings. It may be appreciated that by ranking the first plurality of search results based upon the first list of suggested queries, the plurality of rankings associated with the first list of suggested queries and/or the one or more first suggested queries to generate the ranked list of search results, informative search results may be more easily accessible to the user (e.g., the informative search results may be presented higher up in the ranked list of search results such that the user may not be required to extensively browse and/or navigate through search results to find an informative search result).

In some examples, the first list of suggested queries may be generated based upon the first query path and/or the second query path. For example, one or more first step queries of the first set of queries may be included in the first list of suggested queries. For example, the one or more first step queries may correspond to the fifth query associated with the first step of the first query path and/or the sixth query associated with the first step of the second query path. Alternatively and/or additionally, the one or more first suggested queries of the first list of suggested queries selected for presentation via the search interface may comprise the one or more first step queries.

In some examples, a selection of a query of the one or more first step queries may be received via the search interface. For example, a selection of the fifth query associated with the first step of the first query path may be received. In some examples, responsive to receiving the selection of the fifth query associated with the first step of the first query path, a search associated with the fifth query may be performed to generate and/or present a third plurality of search results associated with the fifth query. Alternatively and/or additionally, a second list of suggested queries may be generated and/or presented via the search interface responsive to receiving the selection of the fifth query associated with the first step of the first query path. For example, the second list of suggested queries may comprise one or more queries associated with the second step of the second query path. For example, one or more second step queries associated with the first query path (e.g., one or more queries of the second set of queries associated with the second step of the first query path) may be included in the second list of suggested queries and/or may be presented via the search interface.
